Recorded in the City of London in 2012, this album features the missing cantatas from the Bach Cantata Pilgrimage: the Ascension Cantatas. They were recorded live at St Giles Cripplegate (one of the original Pilgrimage venues) in two concerts entirely funded by the generosity of hundreds of donors across the world, following a heartfelt appeal from British comedian Alexander Armstrong.
The quartet of soloists include one of the original Pilgrimage soloists, bass Dietrich Henschel, alongside a new generation of Bach interpreters who have worked with the ensembles since 2000 – making this recording a “bridge” between a Bach tradition started 13 years ago and today.
The Ascension Oratorio “Lobet Gott in seinen Reichen” (BWV11) is a heart-warming, uplifting work. Beginning and ending with two grand festive choruses, it is full of rhythmic swagger, jazz-like nonchalance, stratospheric glitter for the high trumpet and vocal acrobatics for the choir.
“Gott fähret auf mit Jauchzen” (BWV43) opens with a glorious, unconventional introduction with high trumpets and drums, and continues with a sequence reminiscent of the opera seria of its time. “Wer da gläubet und getauft wird” (BWV37) focuses on the words of Jesus to his followers and starts with a gentle chorus of choir and orchestra of strings and oboe d’amore. “Auf Christi Himmelfahrt allein” (BWV128) features festive opening and closing movements celebrating Christ’s majesty.
SDG185 is packaged in SDG’s usual high-quality book-case. It contains a 32-page booklet with original notes by Sir John Eliot Gardiner, and sung texts in German and English.
Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach
Performer: Lenneke Ruiten, Meg Bragle, Andrew Tortise, Dietrich Henschel
Conductor: John Eliot Gardiner
Orchestra/Ensemble: English Baroque Soloists, Monteverdi Choir
Reviews: Here’s a welcome surprise! We had assumed that Volume 27 of John Eliot Gardiner’s epic Cantata Pilgrimage of 2000 might be his last word on Bach’s church cantatas. The cantatas not performed on the Pilgrimage (with one exception) had been recorded previously and were available on Gardiner’s original label, Archiv. But now we have a single disc of the cantatas for Ascension Day (including the Ascension Oratorio , BWV 11). This disc replicates the contents of Archiv 463 583-2, raising the intriguing possibility of a more or less complete Gardiner edition on his Soli Deo Gloria label. However, this is a recording from a live performance made possible by the generosity of a substantial number of individual donors, who are gratefully acknowledged in the booklet. Other sponsored concerts are possible, I suppose, but I’m not counting on them.
As a rough measure of the time that has passed since the Pilgrimage, I compared the rosters of this disc, labeled Volume 28, and Volume 27. Not unexpectedly all four soloists are different, though bass Dietrich Henschel did participate in some other Pilgrimage concerts. Gardiner continues to find fine fresh new voices. Astonishingly, not a single member of the Monteverdi Choir sang in both concerts! There were six hold-overs among the English Baroque Soloists: concertmistress Kati Debretzeni, of course, and Annette Isserlis and David Watkins, principal violist and cellist, respectively, plus Sarah Bealby-Wright (violin), Rachel Beckett (flute), and Mike Harrison (trumpet). Yet there’s the same energy and precision in the new performances that we have always admired in Gardiner’s Bach (except for the horns, who hit a couple of rough spots in Cantata 128’s opening chorus). Ascension Day is a happy time, of course, and these spirited performances make the best of it. Gardiner does it again.
